To my knowledge all we’ve seen is the EMP used in the first movie. There was
also the laser thing that Tank used on Cypher, but I don’t know if that sort
of thing could be mounted on the exterior of the ship.
I don’t own the first movie, so I might be missing something.
So, aside from the EMP device, what sort of weapons do you think Zion would
put on a hovership? Like maybe a smaller, more maneuverable, meaner
hovership. >:D

Prior to the release of Animatrix, I would have said it was just the EMP
generator, since Trinity (I think) clearly stated that it was their only defense
against the Sentinels. Even with the release of Animatrix showing the Osiris
using projectile weapons I would have chalked it up to “artistic
license”...except the W. brothers wrote the script for that short, and they’re
the ones who have final say on Matrix canon. I think the real answer lies
somewhere between the Nebbie being outfitted differently than the Osiris per
mission requirements (like how the SR-71 doesn’t carry the same large gun and
rack of missiles/bombs that the A-10 does), and Zion beginning to prepare for a
more direct war with the machines due to The One being found. Of course, the
Nebbie didn’t exhibit any alternate means of attack in Reloaded either...
Anyways, I’m not sure how canon the other five Animatrix shorts are, so I doubt
they are officially playing with the idea of deployable robots (since anything
smart enough to fight the Sentinels could be subverted by them instead), but
projectile weapons, Tank’s electrogun, and the EMP generator are probably the
only three weapon types I’d feel were appropriate.
